The really crap part is they never managed to create affiliate vs. player accounts, so all future revenue for recruited players looks to be out the window as well.
Now can we get these right-wing, meddling rednecks out of D.C.? What’s next, barcodes, electronic ID chips and prohibition mark II?
Closing Poker? How stupid can you get?
The law isn’t going to the Senate, they shot it down.
geeeez!
They didn’t actually say it was related to legislation or recent arrests, but it sure sounds like it…
“As part of the recent upgrade, PokerChamps has performed a system change that begins the process of moving to a new platform. We have also incorporated geo-location software which enables us to implement a long standing and consistent Group Company policy of not permitting access to individuals in the United States. Affected individuals have until tomorrow 21st July 2006 at 12pm EST/5pm BST to withdraw funds after which time accounts will be locked and funds returned by arrangement with our customer service team.”

Is that official?
Semi official. It’s being delayed.
If it does not get to a vote in the senate this session, is it picked right up next session?

Quote:
Midterm elections take place on 7 November 2006. According to the published
schedule for the 109th Congress (Congress being the House and the Senate),
summer recess will take place from August 7 to September 4 for the Senate
(31 July to 4 September for the House). The Senate and House reconvene on 5
September 2006, at which point both chambers will need to act quickly if
they intend to agree on what will be in the final version (that is, if the
Senate has already voted on the bill but made its own changes from the
version passed in the House on July 11).Congress¹ target adjournment date is 6 October 2006, approximately one month
before the midterm elections. If members of Congress intend to put real
pressure on the President to make an affirmative action to either sign or
veto the bill, they will, therefore, need to pass a final version in both
houses by Friday 22 September 2006 (10 business days before 6 October) or
Tuesday 26 September 2006 (10 actual days before 6 October). Otherwise,
President Bush may allow the bill to die after Congress adjourns on the
sixth without taking any action. Alternatively, the adjournment date may be
changed by House and Senate leaders. Ultimately, any veto handed down by
President Bush while Congress is in session must be overridden by a
two-thirds majority in both chambers.I hope this helps. Bryan posted this on his board.
